Speaking of a growing number of B41 sites have you noticed any new Mobilitie sites?

 

I've seen a few added around the first sites in the K-town area, mostly north and west of there.

 

I haven't been traveled out to DTLA or West LA to notice any Mobilitie sites.  Hopefully they start expanding those Mobilitie sites to the OC and eastern parts of LA county (like past the 605 FWY).

Well, I made a FCC complaint, Not really  against Sprint, but San Bernardino County.  Here's Sprint's response...

 

 

See attached.

 

In short, Sprint places the blame for the slow San Bernardino retune on the the IBEZ and the Mexico side not rebanding their 800mhz  Apparently SB County can't reband their 800mhz Safety freq until Mexico side rebands first.   And Sprint can't deploy 800mhz LTE until SB County rebands.  A domino effect.  So until the IBEZ is rebanded, and than SB County, LA Metro and other So Cal areas will have to wait for 800MHZ LTE.

Good info. Too bad they don't mention their progress on deploying 800Mhz 1x and how far in advance that will come before LTE. I'd love to have LTE at all times indoors, but I'd settle to first have a good calling experience.

That was a clever way to get a response.

 

It basically aligns with what I was told.

So that 2H2018 was probably just a conservative guess on their part since they really don't know. At least that's what it sounds like. Could be anytime all the way up till the next 2 years

Two years actually seems about right depending on how quick Mexico rebands. Once Mexico is finished then sprint has to wait on San Bernardino to finish up. Then at some point sprint then has to put 800 MHz RRUs on nearly every site in SoCal, or at least the ones that got NV upgrades after they realize this was going to take an extra 7 years...

Did you know that Trump promised that his proposed wall will not only block people from entering the country, but it will also block all RF to/from Mexico?  Problem solved!

Mexico is sending all its bad signals and interference over here. (Maybe some of the signals are OK.)

 

We're going to build a Faraday Wall and AT&T Mexico is going to pay for it.

The Mobilitie small cell invasion has begun creeping toward Universal City and just SE of Burbank.  They seem to have streamlined the design and installation to something more visually appealing than the initial batch in K-Town and Hollywood.

Is there a higher res picture you might be able to link to? Just want to take a closer look!

Here's a link to the full res picture, but it's just an iPhone pic:

And here's a much better closeup of a similar setup from Jonathan Kramer's site.  The only difference is a missing cover on the post of the top mounted antenna:

That works! The inline photo just appeared really small on my phone. Thanks!

Nice to see Nokia FTHC LTE UE Relay antennas are now in service.

It's good to see more Nokia gear in this market.

 

Also, the placement of this site is interesting.  It's very close to a macro site (as in 1500 ft. or so away).  It seems to strategically fill in an area that might be in a signal "shadow" due to some structures in the way.

Very likely IMO.

Hopefully they install some of these in 91214

Ya I agree. For some reason, it seems like SoCal is being neglected in the sprint network upgrades

I second that. No new upgrades since early 2016 in San Diego. Permits been dead.

You may be surprised. I find my first macro 2.5 permit just this week after more than a year of nothing.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71. 93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.
    • T-Mobile Delivers Industry-Leading Customer, Service Revenue and Profitability Growth in Q1 2024, and Raises 2024 Guidance https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-q1-2024-earnings — — — — — I find it funny that when they talk about their spectrum layers they're saying n71, n25, and n41. They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
